FOIA Request to Winnebago County Recorder Regarding Property Sales Records/Transactions on May 2, 2025.

As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Winnebago County Recorder in Illinois. Our request seeks access to a list of all properties and their most recent sales, along with all available metadata related to these transactions. Specifically, we are requesting details such as Recorded Instrument ID, Transaction Date, Transaction Amount, Transaction Type, Buyer Name, and Seller Name.

Access to public records is essential for us as media professionals to fulfill our responsibilities of holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency for the public. We believe that this information will aid in our mission to inform the community about property transactions within the county.

We have also requested a fee waiver for this information due to our role in disseminating news. Our organization is a member of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit dedicated to assisting media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
